Meanderings

Stalking trout with dry flies. Floating, wading, and camping along the rivers. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Winter trips to Mexico.

Betty's

The mob and the Travis hatch were downstream at Eva's in force, and I had Betty's nearly all to myself yesterday.  Hatch was good, especially during and after the lightning-free rain mid-day.  Today I had to try the bottom and top of the run, which wasn't as productive due to the lighter hatch, wind, and heavy cotton hatch.  Tough wading down lower except for those two "points."  I did get that brown on the upper bank that ate me 3 times yesterday though!  Hanger got him today.  Yesterday he ate the hanger, soft hackle, and Kelly's Cripple. The #18 hanger is still the one, especially early.

July 4 at one of the finest little fly shops in the world.


Lotta Love today

Good afternoon producer

Finally got a hook in it

His former residence.  Maybe he'll go back.



Mostly clear and windy
